or you have dick durbin come out one day saying he wants hands off social security and medicare in the frame work. that's where people see the breakdown in compromise. >> i think about durbin who has taken more arrows than anyone as someone who has hung with simpson-bowles and gang of six and say entitlements have to be part of this mix. what i think we do need to put in place and one of the things that our plan did that simpson-bowles and others did was if you walk in a top line number, you can't unwind that in the dark of the night. any ability to break a budget cap would require a stand alone vote. a two-thirds majority in the senate. this would be unprecedented in terms of trying to put discipline back into budgeting which we have lacked from both sides. >> you think the gang of six or gang of eight to the extent we get tax reform next year will play an important role in that and will we default back to simpson-bowles with corporate tax rates going down? >> i believe and hope tax rates will go down. they all went down based upon a top rated 39%. we can get it done. the challenge, i
